How to make fragrant tuna stew:

Step 1: Marinate the fish

Marinate the fish with seasoning powder, salt, chili powder, a bit of sugar, and ½ tablespoon of fish sauce. Add chopped chilies and scallions, mix well to let the fish absorb the seasoning. Marinate for about 10 – 15 minutes.

Step 2: Fry the fish, flavor the dish

– Heat enough oil in a pan and fry the fish until golden on both sides. Transfer the fish to a plate, let it drain excess oil. The golden-brown fried fish will be fragrant and visually appealing when stewed.

– After marinating, transfer to a hot pan, add 50ml coconut water, simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant and tender, then turn off the heat.

Step 3: Stew the fish

– Heat a pot, add cooking oil and boil 1 tablespoon of sugar to make caramel. When the sugar turns brown, add the fried tuna. Pour in the remaining coconut water, add herbs, chopped scallions, chili paste, and 1 tablespoon of chili powder to make the fragrant tuna stew visually appealing.

– Simmer gently over low heat, adjust the seasoning with 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of MSG, 1 tablespoon of MSG, and ½ tablespoon of sugar. When the stew is reduced to about half, the fish is cooked and visually appealing, sprinkle some ground pepper and turn off the heat.

Fragrant tuna stew is best enjoyed hot with steamed rice, fresh vegetables, or boiled greens. As fragrant tuna stew is a sour dish, if there are leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator to avoid spoilage for the next day!
